The Celtics have several strong suits, but executing their offense efficiently in the third quarter hasn’t been one of them.
Having been an issue for quite some time, it was refreshing to see the Cs dominate the Miami Heat in every which way throughout the third. After matching a season high 77 points in the first half, Boston wasn’t letting off the gas anytime soon. After all, it was a high intensity rival matchup.
At 35-10, the Celtics score the most points in the first (31.3) and second (31.6) quarter of any team in the NBA this season.
